My uncle said to always pre-heat the sand for a core box with a torch, even in summer.

Tried it on a humid day last week and the cores came out perfect, no crumbling. Anyone else use this trick for high-humidity pours?

Wait you actually torched the sand in the box? That sounds like a fire hazard waiting to happen.

Just keep a fire extinguisher nearby and don't use accelerants.

My buddy's shop tried it once and the whole core box warped from the heat.
